An Imperial Consortium Hordemaster fleet carrier launching a flight of Oppressor fighter bombers. The Hordemaster's maw-like launch bay allows it to launch and dock with everything from fighters to light transports and pinnaces. This allows huge flexibility in the ship payload it carries. However, it lacks the electromagnetic catapults used by human fleet carriers that allows their fighters to double their effective range. This means that Terran ships tend to have the advantage in long-range engagements, but if the Hordemaster can engage in close with its larger fighter compliment and heavier armor, it has the edge.
